Actress Sandra Bullock can afford to be selective about her movie roles – because she doesn’t need the cash. The Crash star would consider reading the scripts of less lucrative movie parts, because she has no fear of them being unsuccessful.

She says, “I can now choose the roles that I want to do rather than ones that I think will make money. I know I’m very lucky to be in this position and, as long as I have people around me to tell me I’m not about to go broke, I’m happy to do any movie that barely breaks even.”

Thing is – I care if her movies flop.  I actually paid to see “Premonition” and that’s 2 crappy hours of my life I’ll never get back.

Sandra Bullock has signed up for shooting lessons after standing by helpless as a fan tried to run over her husband. The Speed star watched in horror as Marcia Valentine attempted to kill Jesse James in her Mercedes after driving the vehicle onto the couple’s Orange County, California estate on April 22nd.

Valentine has been charged with aggravated assault and stalking and told to stay away from the actress and her family, but Bullock isn’t taking any chances. According to U.S. tabloid National Enquirer, the movie star has signed up for shooting lessons at an indoor range near her home.

Usmagazine.com has learned the full details behind the stalker who attempted to harm Sandra Bullock and her husband, Jesse James at their home in Orange County, CA over the weekend.

Orange County Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino says that, “On several occasions before this incident [the 44-year-old actress and her husband] found [Marcia Valentine] lying in front of their garage door. On [the morning of ] Sunday, April 22 around 10:30 a.m., Jesse James went out and asked her to leave. She yelled some obscenities at James, who did not have a cell phone in his hand. When she saw that he did not have a phone, she went to her car. She threw the car in reverse in his direction. He attempted to move out of the way and she kept moving the vehicle. She attempted to run him over three or four times. She then drove off on Pacific Coast Highway. James called police and told them that he did not know this woman. He then gave them a detailed description [of her] to the police – she drove a silver Mercedes with a white decal on the rear. He described her as a 5′4 white female. ”

According to Amormino, James later picked Valentine out of a line-up after she was captured and arrested after she was pulled over by police.

“We searched the area at the time of the incident, but did not locate her. The next morning, we searched the area and spotted her car. We pulled the vehicle over and called James, who then did an in-field lineup where he positively identified her. The case was sent over to the Orange County District Attorney’s office where Marcia Valentine might be facing other charges besides assault with a deadly weapon. Bail was set at $25,000 and she bailed out. She lives in nearby Huntington Beach and she due back on May 22.”

Valentine has no previous police record and has no other restraining orders against her in Los Angeles County.

Police sources tell TMZ that a woman obsessed with Sandra Bullock almost killed Sandra’s husband, motorcycle mogul Jesse James, during a frightening attack at the couple’s Orange County home late Sunday night.

Cops say that Bullock, along with James’ 10-year-old child, looked on in horror as Marcia Valentine “attempted 3 or 4 times to run Jesse James over with her silver Mercedes.” Jesse was never struck by the car during the alleged incident.

We’re told Valentine also “laid in the driveway and wouldn’t move.”

Orange County Sheriffs were contacted and responded to the scene, but Valentine allegedly fled before they arrived. After an intense manhunt, officers located Valentine early Monday morning and took her into custody.

Valentine is being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

UPDATE: In an exclusive statement to TMZ, the couple’s rep, Cheryl Maisel, said, “The incident did occur. Both Jesse James and Sandra Bullock are fine and it is now in the hands of the authorities.”
